GLAUCOMA PROCEDURES

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness - damaging your vision so gradually, beginning in the periphery, you may not notice any loss of vision until the disease is at an advanced stage. Early diagnosis and treatment, plus consistent, ongoing examinations, can minimize or prevent optic nerve damage and limit glaucoma-related vision loss. Let’s work together to see that this never happens to you.

What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is not just one eye disease, but a group of eye conditions resulting in optic nerve damage, which causes loss of vision. Abnormally high pressure inside your eye (intraocular pressure) usually, but not always, causes this damage.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness. Sometimes called the silent thief of sight, glaucoma can damage your vision so gradually you may not notice any loss of vision until the disease is at an advanced stage. The most common type of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, has no noticeable signs or symptoms except gradual vision loss.
